The Recovery Project
The Recovery Project was a programme of work that ran for two years, from 2021 until 2022. The project was specifically designed to aid in the recovery of children and young people’s mental health that had been made worse as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Before the project started, 1 in 3 young people had low wellbeing. When the project had finished it was down to 1 in 5.
85%
of young people said that the project has had a positive impact on their mental health
77%
of young people said that they now feel more able to understand and process their feelings, anxieties, worries and actions
Case study
” Sometimes you don’t actually realise how you are feeling. You don’t know because you can’t put it into words and sometimes I will be like “I am fine” but I am not fine but I don’t know how to tell people. This (project) has just kinda given me the words and the description and how I can show people that I am not actually fine.”
